Frisky Baby Goat Wants to Play

Smart moms of elites athletes like Michael Phelps and Shawn Johnson helped channel their children’s intense energy into sport. Johnson’s parents enrolled her in gymnastics class at age six because of her habit of climbing up book shelves, and Phelps’s mom recalls, “He was always pushing, nudging, shoving, and fidgeting….you can imagine what bedtime was like!” But, what’s a mother goat to do?

Buttermilk, a Nigerian pygmy goat born five weeks ago on Took A Leap Farm in Houlton, Maine, is a hit with the Internet-the video has had over 1,000,000 views since it was posted on July 27. But, with her goat companions? Not so much. The cheeky little girl hops around them, pops over them, and even knocks two over as she jumps on their backs. The cameraman chuckles in the background but “sophistikathryn,” who posted the video, writes, “I think we’ll have our hands full with this little one.”

According to the farm’s blog, Buttermilk’s owners promised to donate $25 to the non-profit rescue and education organization Farm Sanctuary if the video received 1000 views.

Just Ask

As everyone may know I support a bunch of causes. I sometimes pull stuff off the web I believe to be open to doing so. I always give credit when and where possible and I include the link to the original. If someone has a legitimate right to something posted, and you ( they ) wish it removed, simply email me at the email address above. I will removed items belonging to others that they do not wish posted here gladly, however I will not remove content simple because it is disliked or the cause it supports is against someones wishes. If your wish is to get me to removed content you simply dislike but don't own, I will not remove it. If you can show me that you do own the rights to something, I will be more than happy to remove it. Again this requires you to write me an email stating what item(s) in question, your ownership, and a request to remove it. I will respond to all such requests given sufficient time. Thanks and good surfing to you.
